I’ve got guaranteed picks on Alabama-LSU, Dogs, Falcons! (no, seriously)
Yes. I decided to come back.
Did you lose the bet?
So there I was, sitting by the railroad tracks, just me and my Pop-Tarts and my Florida-Clemson-Broncos parlay ticket and some creepy guy who kept staring at my shoes, waiting for me to fall asleep, when it struck me: I was getting too good! Everybody needs a market correction now and then. Me. Wall Street. Everybody who plays running back for Georgia, at least when they’re not sitting in their dorm room, in a cloud of smoke, next to a bong and an open box of Ho Hos, staring at the same fly for like, I dunno, seven hours, wondering what it would be like to be a fly, then trying to catch the fly, giving up after 12 seconds, then napping for, I dunno, another seven hours. (Hey, did I miss class?)
Crowell better hope this isn't his career.
OK, so my strategy sorta went kaboom last week. Sort of like Custer, whose reported famous last words at Little Big Horn were, “Hurrah boys, we’ve got them!” And then he put $100 on Tim Tebow to slay the Lions. Tool.
But I couldn’t miss this week: It’s Homecoming!
Isaiah Crowell, Carlton Thomas and Ken Malcome will not be in uniform for the Georgia-New Mexico State game. Their urine specimens blew up the laboratory. Hey, I know kids do dumb things. But how dumb do you have to be to get your ganja on in the middle of the football season? I mean, what was Crowell planning to do when a linebacker came up to tackle him: Offer him a toke and a brownie? Come on Gator Man, it’s all good.
Cheech, Chong and Spicoli were at practice this week, pushing weighted sleds – eyes fixated I believe on the 12 bags of Nacho Cheese Doritos that strength coach Joe Tereshinski had dangling from a fishing pole.
Georgia is still favored by 33 points, which makes you wonder: How many players would have to flunk a drug test for the spread to go down? Forty?
I think Mark Richt pulled some kid out of the Poultry Sciences building to play running back. No matter. I’m not biting on the spread. Conservative week for me. Dogs cover 33.
After last week, my Thanksgiving plans are set
Do I Smell A Comeback?
(Or did I just step in something?)
LSU at Alabama: It’s the two best teams with the two best defenses and possibly the two best coaches, and this lovely postseason system of ours means the winner is going to the BCS championship and the loser is going to Six Flags and some place where kids eat free. Short breakdown: Everything LSU can do, Alabama can do. But Alabama has Trent Richardson, LSU doesn’t. And it’s in Tuscaloosa, where as one of the 600 media in attendance I fully expect to be set up with a folding chair and a TV tray somewhere in the parking lot. Oh look, there’s Mike Price. Roll Tide! Bama covers 4½.
South Carolina at Arkansas: Doggy fans, here’s your choice: Pull for South Carolina, which is ahead of Georgia in the SEC East, or pull for Bobby Petrino, which could lead you to an afterlife of whiffing brimstone. You’re going the soul-selling route, aren’t you? Richt said this week he might have to learn the pig-sooie chant. And when you lose Richt to the underword, it’s over. Piggies win and cover 5.
So if you’re selling your soul, just like Homer…
Vanderbilt at Florida: The Gators are 94th in the nation in offense — just ahead of UAB and behind Rice. But they’re still ahead of Vanderbilt (106th). Flawida wins, but give me Vandy and 13.
Old and Decrepit Miss at Kentucky: The Rebels have lost 11 straight SEC games. Athletic director Pete Boone gave coach Houston Nutt a vote of confidence this week, saying: “I think that we’re at the point in the season that we just let the season play itself out.” OK, maybe not so much a vote of confidence. More like, “If you need any empty boxes, they’re out back by the dumpsters.” Take the Cats and the gift 1.
The Packers and Everybody Below
Oh yeah. They look ready.
Falcons at 0-8: Sports Illustrated this week listed Matt Ryan as the 17th-best quarterback so far this NFL season, behind Alex Smith,Ryan Fitzpatrick and I think leftover road kill from Atlanta Public Schools. Whatever. I can’t even name the Colts’ quarterback. Also, Indy’s defense is allowing the most points (31.5) and the second-most rushing yards (144) per game. Geez, all this research. What’s come over me? Falcons cover 7.
Bucs at Saints: New Orleans just lost to 0-6 St. Louis. It is just me or are the Saints starting to look like the Colts of the past couple of years — a great quarterback but little else. Yeah, I went there. But: Saints cover 8.
Giants at Patriots: In the past week, the Patriots have seen Rob Gronkowski photographed with a porn star and Julian Edelman arrested for groping at a Halloween party (maybe he went dressed as Herman Cain). OK, story of the Kim Kardashian-Bill Belichick secret weekend in Cape Cod breaks in 3, 2, 1 … Pats cover 8½.
Watch Bill Belichick open up to the media
Ravens at Steelers: These are the kind of games you watch and when it’s over you look down and ask yourself, “Why is that bone sticking out of my leg?” Pitt wins (but take the Ravens and 3).
Packers at Chargers: Green Bay has won 13straight going back to last season. It’s Godzilla vs. Bambi all over again. Packers cover 5½.
I won’t tell you how it ends
•
Toteboard
Last week (slightly cloudy): 4-6 straight up, 2-8 against the line.
Overall (Real. And spectacular): 74-31 straight up; 63-41-1 against the line.
“Sack Schultz” update: I’m sinking like a stone, but enough about me. Last week’s winners were Richard Stone (Mt. Airy, Ga.) and Doreen Schweki (Roy, Wash.).

Bambi vs. Godzilla is one of my all-time favorite shorts. Not so much for the awesome battle scene but for the detailed film credits. It’s the sign of a 1st class production, don’t ya think?
For similar shorts, watch 18-wheelers vs. Coyotes. There are no credits, the results, obviously, are the same and occur on a regular basis on every interstate in the US of A.

If Crowell had failed a drug screen at Tech he wouldn’t have been suspended for even one game.
Sort of like Matt ” DUI ” Skole
Georgia has stricter rules and enforces them.
Its a shame not everyone does.
DRUG POLICY SUSPENSION LENGHTS
The minimum required number of games a student-athlete is suspended for each of the 68 automatic-qualifying BCS conference football programs, using next year’s conference affiliations, based on a (1) first-positive test for recreational drugs; (2) second-positive test; (3) third-positive test; (4) fourth-positive test and (5) fifth-positive test. Drug policies are obtained through public records requests or from the school’s official website.
ACC
Georgia Tech: (1) none; (2) 10 percent of games; (3) one year; (4) dismissal.
SEC
Georgia: (1) 10 percent of games; (2) 50 percent of games; (3) dismissal.
Funny how the fact that it wouldn’t have even been an issue at Tech wasn’t mentioned in any of the articles by Bradley or Schultz.
Thank You Schultz

Coach Richt was talking about the Georgia Way being something other than we’ve been seeing for the past several years what with all the arrests and suspensions and coaches out of control with bad manners on the sideline and on the field after the games. The new Georgia Way seems to be a bit thuggish with a little attitude and some felonious felonies along the way. I’m pretty sure the Georgia Way he was talking about is Gone With the Wind. Now, it’s pretty much Clarke County Sheriff’s Department stuff.

For FLAT TIRE- UGA drug policy-1st offense=10% of season 2nd=30% of season 3rd=loss of scholarship and kicked off team. This is the toughest drug policy in college sports. Some have a tougher 1st offense policy( LSU=15% which they round down if you are about to play Alabama), but overall this is the toughest.

UGA by 40+ over Tijauna State. Smoke ‘em if ya got ‘em!!!
Ole Miss is terrible, but Kentucky is worse. I’m take the Ackbars in a close one.

Hey schultz you Yech bandwagoneer…you’ve been ripping into UGA about all of this drug mess and giving other schools a pass like your beloved Yechmites. And Yechmites don’t even attempt to look for moral high ground either as a poster said on another site:
“Does Tech even give drug tests to it’s SA’s?
The ESPN writer was on 790 The Zone and said Richt orders drug tests as soon as he
has a reason to suspect someone has been abusing drugs, and that he had wider
information that his happened over the summer, and that all involved passed the
screening.
But have you ever heard of Tech players suspended for recreational drugs? Based on
what I’ve read concerning tuis incident, all of that is completely up to the school and
it’s AD; he NCAA tests for performance enhancers but nothing else.
While we he world is hammering us for suspending Crowell for dope, why is nobody
questioning the leniency and testing frequency at other programs?
Tech doesn’t suspend on the first positive drug test – and what do we know about
whether or not they test at all? If they never have any suspensions, you can assume
one of three thingsTech
1- Tech players never do drugs (lol)
2- Tech always nips it the bud after the first positive test
3- Tech does not test, or they warn their players a test is coming
Number 1 is laughable, number 2 would seem nice, but this is an athletic department
that actually saw a baseball player overdose on heroin, and the odds he never did any
testable drugs before that are nil IMO.
On number three, they just got smacked by the NCAA for warming a kid that he was
going to be questioned. They have also been smacked for playing kids they knew to
be inelligible. Thy have established a culture of hireling facts rather than risk losing
players for games – the total opposite of our own “air all be dirty laundry” approach.
The local media has relished going all Woodward and Bernstein on Greg McGarrity.
Let’s see if they turn to Tech and ask some hard questions concerning their drug
policies.
Just don’t hold your breath for that to happen.”
Nuff said!!!

:Georgia Tech football star on run from U.S. Marshals
By Kristi E. Swartz
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
A former Georgia Tech football player convicted of federal drug charges is now on the run from the U.S. Marshals.
.Reuben Houston has been on the run from investigators since September, senior inspector Katrina Crouse said.
That’s when he brought a gun to the home of a family whose child had gotten into some sort of a fight with Houston’s daughter, Crouse said.
Crouse said few details were available on Houston’s arrest warrant but said his daughter “got into some kind of dispute with another child, and he became very unhappy about it.”
Houston went to the family’s house in Cobb County to confront the parents about it, Crouse said.
“He got angry, pulled a gun and held everybody at bay for about five minutes,” she said.
One of the family members tried to wrestle the gun from Houston, who eventually left.
Crouse said investigators have been looking for him since that time.
Houston is wanted for making terrorist threats and aggravated assault with a weapon.
He is also charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon because of 2005 charges connected to a marijuana distribution ring.
Houston, still playing cornerback for Georgia Tech at the time, was convicted of helping smuggle more than 90 pounds of marijuana into Atlanta from California.
He accepted a plea agreement to lesser charges a year later.
He was suspended from the football team in June 2005 but received a court order to be reinstated in November.
He graduated with a degree in management and signed a free-agent contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers the following May.
Crouse said Houston may be in Florida because he spent time there.
The 27-year-old was also a Fayette County high school football and track star.
“What a shame,” Crouse said. “Here’s somebody who had so much talent and promise and opportunities – to then take this path instead.”
Crouse said the U.S. Marshals consider Houston to be violent and dangerous. They do not want the public approaching him.
“We’re more interested in getting tips so we can find him,” Crouse said.

We should just end the season after the LSU/Alabama game. The winner should be immediately declared National Champion and all remaining games cancelled. Clearly, which ever team wins is unbeatable and a lock to win the BCS title…in fact the winning team should just go ahead and play in the SuperBowl. In fact, why were LSU and Bama even playing games this year. Why can’t we just give them the year to prepare and let them play each other in the BCS NC game. All other teams and games are meaningless.

The most dangerous drug out there for college students is alcohol. When they raised the legal drinking age to 21 college students became unable to get into bars so now they drink without adult supervision. Binge drinking, DUI, etc. is much more dangerous than smokin’ a little.
Take a trip to any college football game and sit near the student section. So until a “drug test” includes alcohol, it’s all a PC sham.

Surely you jest about Tech. The problem is the dogs lead the nation in only one category—arrests and suspensions. We won’t bother to mention bad behavior by coaches, an example for the players i am sure.
You gots to be kidding Gator! You all have your own issues with players and have had them for years. The difference is your coach and AD do a great job of covering up your messes. Integrity is not a word spoken very often at “Flarida”. I see you struggle with it as well.

In a game featuring the two best defensive squads in the nation, the team with the superior offense will prevail. My guess is that it will be the home team.
Bama 24-17

ESPN.com’s Radi Nabulsi (formerly with the UGA Rivals.com site) laid out the scenario for the suspensions based on his inside sources on the radio.
Coaches/staff were aware of the issue with these players and needed to handle it (hey, give them credit for that!), but timed the testing so the positive results they KNEW would come back wouldn’t be available until after UF but before New Mexico State.
Test a couple of days earlier, and the players miss Florida.
Wait and test sometime this week, and maybe the results aren’t available until it’s too late to suspend for NMS…and they’d have to suspend for Auburn.
They accomplished everything they wanted to do. they sent the message they felt needed to be sent to these guys (again….credit for taking action!), but they didn’t risk it impacting a big game. At the same time, they fulfilled the mandate that suspensions are immediate…..even though the timing was by design.
Nobody (McG, CMR, etc…) “lied” about the results timing. They didn’t have to. They CREATED the timing.

You’re exactly right… And who cares?
Those responsible for the UGA football program would much rather have the fan-base spewing gossip about this reefer-madness nonsense than discussing the Dawgs’ pathetic on-field performance this year.

By the way, those “redneck fratboys” come from Atlanta. Check out the demographics. If we are labeling schools, I guess the annual beatdown will consists of the “Rednecks” vs. The Foreign Exchange Program known as Tek. Feel better now?

Except LAST YEAR, they were losing games like this year’s UF and Vandy wins. Last year’s team is probably 4-4 at this point, at best.

This year’s Florida and Vandy teams ain’t last year’s. Georgia might be better this year, but not by much. They barely scraped by Vandy and only beat Florida because of a gimpy QB.
Tennessee and Florida won’t stay down forever. Georgia won’t get this cupcake schedule every year. Hold onto this rope too long and the Dawgs will go down with the USS CMR. Have to give them credit for their masterful handling of this doobie deal though. Maybe they’re getting better?

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news to the Bama contingent, but if you checked in with LSU historians you would know this is the best LSU team to ever enter Bryant-Denny stadium. They are a confident bunch, not cocky as some suspect, just determined and talented. They have been humbled by the significant events this season that would have been set backs to mere mortals, but they not only survived, they strived through these adversities. This game will be another test to showcase the dominance of their will. So you see, their focus is not on the distractions of the Bama win lost record at home, or the crowd noise of screaming fans, or the “Fail Room” name over the visitor’s locker room that was designed to serve as a subliminal message to jinx the play of the visiting team, or the fact they are 4 1/2 – 5 pts underdog according to betting odds makers. None of these distractions will impede the strong desire and the positive end results that went into the preparations for this game. Sure, Alabama also spent quality time in preparations, but in the end, you will see and agree, this is the year of the TIGERS! GEAUX TIGERS!!!

LSU wins.
The reason is special team. LSU punter is unbelievable while BAMA punter is average. Making matter worse, BAMA return coverage has holes from time to time, while LSU return coverage rarely has a leak.
I believe that will make the biggest difference in this game.

@ Tom – you are wrong and so is your ESPN source. The test were given Thursday before the game, results not back from lab until Monday afternoon. Protocol requires that a meeting happens with player, parents (if any, that’s the problem), coaches, AD and Univ. Pres. Once this meeting occurs then the public notice of suspension happens. This was a random test. Now all three can be tested whenever and however many time UGA wants to.
So, on Tuesday press conference Richt knew the results but because protocol had not been completed he could not say anything. This all comes from a source that has better insight than ESPN does.

VANDERBILT has some cheap shot players indeed. Look at the comments from LB Courtney Upshaw of BAMA below:
The only other trouble Upshaw has been in was recent. He kicked a Vanderbilt player in the helmet on Oct. 8 and sat out the first quarter of the next game.
“He said the guy was trying to hurt him,” Leigh McKenzie said. “Courtney told the guy to stop, and the guy didn’t.”

Hey Bamaonline! The Tide players don’t copy anything the Dawgs have to offer. Next thing you know, you’ll be spouting about the academics in the UGA program…..As far as drug testing goes, Saban has already kicked guys off for failing drug tests, some were starters, so that insinuation is a “Dawg won’t hunt” in that argument.(pun intended). As far as the LSU game, if they beat Bama, they will have earned it and more power to them (along with needed recovery time).

What does Tech’s drug testing have to do with Georgia? Every year in every way one of these “five star” backs let Georgia down and all Bronko Nagurski can talk about is why robbing a bank in the ACC gets you 5 years on good behavior and robbing one in the SEC gets you 7. ” And after 5 years the Tech guy is walking free and my banker robber is still locked up. Where is the justice?” If you can’t do the time don’t do the crime. What you really have here are a lot of kids being recruited that don’t give a spit about the University of Georgia. I think you will see the only two back that have started and play for UGA that care about the uniform they wear playing this weekend. I hope they both run for 300 yards.
